Set Your Thermostat for Maximum Comfort and Savings

Utilizing a programmable thermostat gives you a lot of convenience when it comes to comfort. Not only do they allow for a variety of programs to be set centered around your needs, they also make it easy to take advantage of a variety of savings if used correctly. Of course the weather in Lincoln can be unpredictable and the temperature swings can seem ridiculous, but there are steps you can take to make certain you experience complete comfort while also saving money year after year.

Reaping the benefits of your programmable thermostat isn’t difficult, and one of the easiest ways to make the most of those benefits is by understanding the schedule of your home. Every schedule is different, but taking the time to recognize your needs will allow you to program your thermostat accurately and only be heating and cooling your home when it’s needed.

Sure, you can take the approach of toying with it when you leave or get home every day, but why waste your time when you could have it set up to meet your comfort needs every day? It is a programmable thermostat after all, so why not use it to improve your comfort and energy savings?

Setting your thermostat for huge amounts of time allows it to operate more efficiently, saving you money and ensuring your comfort level is right where you want it. Setting a schedule for your programmable thermostat will offer you greater efficiency and more consistent temperatures, especially when you limit temperature changes to 10 degree differences or less. Keeping a consistent temperature will also help you resist the urge to continuously walk over to your thermostat and use your “hold” button or make drastic adjustments.

In addition to the basic operation of your programmable thermostat, many host a number of features that can help you lower your energy consumption and may potentially lower your energy costs.

Programmable thermostats usually contain pre-programmed settings, including specific options for work and vacation. Using these repeatedly help keep your system from working when you’re away from Lincoln for long periods when the temperature of your home is not as important.

Some programmable thermostats include an option to lock the thermostat, so when kids come home after school before you’re home, you can rest assured that there isn’t any toying with the temperature settings.

Something else to think about is that making large temperature adjustments does not help your home heat up or cool down any faster. Setting your programmable thermostat for any other temperature than the one you’d like to achieve only leaves you open to forgetting about it and making it too warm, too cold or wasting energy.
